I made a starter og 1.035 with oxygen, pitched 2 pack san diego yeast but a little warm 75. fg after 36hours is 1.010 did i kill some yeast and would you still pitch into wort today.
 
what?

That seems pretty normal to me. I never both taking gravity readings of starters. You should be able to tell if it fermented. If it did, then its good to pitch

Yeast actually grows better at higher temperatures. High temps are bad for beer making not because the high temperatures hurt the yeast, but because the yeast create more off flavors at those temperatures. Having your starter in the mid to high 70's shouldn't hurt the yeast at all, and will actually help with their growth. Just keep your beer fermentation cooler to prevent those off flavors.
 
thanks for replys, was just concerned because i used antifoam in starter so as not to make a mess, and there was absolute no krausen. ok getting dumped into fermenter.
